    Default New to FBT, and frogs

    Hi guys, first off I wanted to say thanks for the great advice and cool ideas here.
    So this is my first terrarium/viv I have ever made, and I wanted to know what you think, and if I need to do anything different. It houses 6 Fire-bellied toads (bombinas orientalis?) I tore apart 2 of my custom computers and made a vent system, and use peltiers to cool the tank. It sits about 75-82f, which is better considering my apt sits at 87 cause I dont have AC.
    This is an over all view. It is a 20L. Full spectrum light.

    I have about 3 inches if water, which is filtered with a 10gl filter which looks like a waterfall over the log, and is also circulated through a pump, and dripping over the land part which is eco-earth and moss over aquarium gravel, as kind of a natural filter

    I used river rocks to hold the substrate back, and act as a catch so less goes all over the water. There are several live aquarium plants, but I dont remember what they are off hand.

    I also have a repti-fogger to keep it humid as needed. I wish I could get it to settle at the bottom, instead of floating everywhere.

    Fake log and hanging plants look good.
    The eco-earth sits about 1/2inch above water line, but is always soaked and I can't seem to get it to dry out at all. I have a 'unique' venting and cooling system for it. I tore apart a couple computers I had, and used the fans and coolers to vent, and also the peltier to cool the water.

    I have added a couple vines, and the water filter since these pics were taken. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

    WOW! It's really beautiful! You should definitely enter it!

    I had the same problem with the substrate being too wet & gradually making it's way into the water, requiring a pump & filter cleaning every few days. I finally gave up, & moved my little guys into 'temporary housing' while I redo the big tank. I'm putting in a plexiglass divider between the water & the substrate.
